Congratulations on your purchase of the Roland TD-20. This TurboStart contains step-by-step instructions that will quickly introduce you to a few of the TD-20âs major features. Note: This TurboStart discusses the use of the TD-20 as part of the Roland V-Pro Series TD-20S-BK.

Selecting Instruments in a Kit
Any of the TD-20âs drum kits can be customized. Instrument tuning, changing the apparent shell depth of a tom and adding the sound of rivets to a cymbal are just a few of the things you can do. Choosing your own instruments for a kit is a good place to start. You can select different instruments for each of the pads within a drum kit. Use the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Press KIT so itâs lit. Turn the VALUE dial to select the kit youâd like to edit. Press INST so itâs lit. Press F5 until âH & Râ is not shaded. Hit the padâor portion of the pad, such as the head or rimâthat contains the instrument you wish to change. Turn the VALUE dial or use the INC+/DECbuttons to select the desired instrument. Repeat Steps 5-6 for the remaining pads. When youâre finished, press KIT. Your customization is stored automatically.

Setting the Hi-Hat Offset
The open/close range for the VH-12 Hi-Hat is set by the Offset parameter in the TD-20. Adjusting the Offset parameter is crucial for ensuring that the VH-12 performs correctly. Once itâs set, you wonât have to worry about it again unless you perform a factory reset on the TD-20 or decide to install the VH-12 pads on a different hi-hat stand. To adjust the hi-hat open/close range: 1. Loosen the clutch of the top hi-hat pad, letting it rest on the bottom hi hat. 2. While pressing and holding the KIT button, press TRIGGERâTRIGGER starts to flash. After a few seconds TRIGGER stops flashing, the Offset value stabilizes and the adjustment is complete. 3. Press KIT to exit, and then re-adjust and tighten the hi-hat clutch. Tip: If you wish, you can further adjust and customize the Offset settings and other hi-hat parameters to match your playing style. Refer to the TD-20 Ownerâs Manual for more information.

Playing the Patterns
There are 100 preset patterns in the TD-20âs sequencer. Use the following steps to select and play them: 1. 2. 3. 4. Press PATTERN so itâs lit. Turn the VALUE dial to select one of the preset patterns. Press PLAY. Press STOP when youâre finished.

Selecting and Auditioning Drum Kits
There are 50 drum kits in the TD-20, ready to go. Use the following steps to select and try out a few: 1. Press KIT so itâs lit. 2. Turn the VALUE dial or press the INC+/DECbuttons to select 8 UNIVERSE. 3. Play the pads. Try performing some rim shots with the toms. 4. Now turn the VALUE dial counterclockwise or press the DEC- button to select 2 Slaminâ. 5. Play the pads. Strike the bow of Crash 2âthis starts one of the patterns in the TD-20 using a feature called âPad Pattern,â described later in this TurboStart. 6. Strike the bow of Crash 2 again to stop the pattern.

Note: If you select a TAP pattern, press the PLAY button repeatedly to move, or âtap,â through the pattern. Tap patterns are identified by âï´|ï´|â shown below the âPâ in the display.
